how long is cooked chicken good for?

Question

it has been in the fridge since friday afternoon? what are the chances of my getting sick if i eat it? they are just like fried chicken strips...

Answer 1

If it was sealed in a plastic container, it should be ok. But if it was just naked on a plate, you might want to give it a few careful sniffs before chowing down.

Answer 2

I eat off of a baked chicken for almost a week at a time. Because of the coating on the chicken strips I dont know how long that coating is good for. I don't think that it will make you sick, eat and enjoy.

Answer 3

Cooked chicken (regardless of how it is prepared) shouldn't be eaten after 48 hours in the fridge

Answer 4

Since it is already cooked, it should be just fine. I have had chicken stay good for a little over a week. As long as the container it was in was airtight you should be just fine.

Answer 5

7 days as long as its stored properly and hasnt been out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.
reheat it to the proper temerature. it should be fine

Answer 6

If they were fresh on Friday, and they were wrapped up in a cold fridge, they should be fine. I wouldn;t go beyond 5 days though.

Answer 7

Eat within 48 hours or freeze!

Answer 8

So long as the fridge has been kept cold, youll be fine.

Nuke them in the microwave, or heat them in the oven... they'll be delicious.

Answer 9

Like most "left overs." I recommend that it be eaten within 3-5 days of being FULLY cooked. Make sure that you fully reheat it when you decided to eat the leftovers to make sure you kill any bacteria caused by cross contamination or anything else.

Answer 10

Still good. I have eaten it a week later, but I would say five or six days is probably throw away time.
